Went to Sematan with my family and a few other church members. Stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. The 1st day we did nothing just hanging around in the chalet and only go out to have lunch and dinner. On the 2nd day went to lundu church and the church is so less ppl cause is Hari Gawai most native ppl went back to their kampung. The most amazing thing is that the service start at 9am finish at 10.15am what a short sermon. The lundu service on that day is like less than 60 ppl. After the service we went visiting the lundu church members house. We visited 4 houses if i am not wrong. And the weather is like super hot. Most of us cannot stand the heat. After visiting we drove back to sematan chalet which is about 17KM from lundu. We rest for a while then went to the jeti to catch fish. We all ended up catch nothing from 1pm to 3pm then from 4.30pm to 6pm went to the beach hoping to catch a stingray. Also ended up nothing. I think the stingray is sleeping. We all went back to the chalet with sad face especially my mei mei. At night we did some fellowship after the fellowship it is time for the youth the take over the night. Some of the youth watch movies using my laptop and some of them playing my playstation 2. 3rd day woke up around 9.30am when i woke up is like raining heavily so cannot go catch fish near the river. So ended up playing playstation 2 then 12.30pm went down to lundu for lunch then 1 church member say go visit her fren which celebrate gawai on the way down. The house got 1 pond full with talapia fish. After that went to visit 1 church member relative which have piglets, ducks, chickens and fighting cock. We went there to pluck "Bidin". Went with aunty tracy, my mom, my mei mei, joel and vera. The place where we go and pluck the "Bidin" is actually a small rubber tree farm. They have a few rubber tree and we saw koko tree and pepper tree. While the adults are plucking the 4 of us were chit chating under a tree and vera told us that she last time climb this tree and fall. And cun cun there is a professional tree climber there where she teach vera how to climb a tree properly. After plucking is like already nearly 6pm. So we wanted to make a move but ended up the host stop us and call us to have dinner with them. So we have dinner with the host which is vera's grandparents, uncle and aunty. After the dinner we all make a move. We reach home is the time is like 7.30pm already and we are all tired. Thats all folks. Thanks for reading.
